This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.
Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.
I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.
This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

On yesterday's #serci Update post (https://social.jayvii.de/objects/MVKQo4c6huo), today I finished a massive overhaul of the web-frontend for this Meta² search engine.
Besides looking a lot slicker, it should be a lot easier to understand for new users now. The list of search engines can now be searched and filtered and your personal default search engine can be chosen easily with a single click! I also added descriptions for each search engine, to make the list easier to browse and understand.
Feel free to try it yourself! https://search.jayvii.de
Oh, and the re-factoring increased performance by 33%! Searching on average takes 0.12s before redirect (same as before), but loading the web-frontend takes only 0.18s instead of 0.28s now. Really happy with how it turned out. Still: any suggestions are more than welcome!
